There must be a better way to honor your favorite hockey team.

What I posted has nothing to do with Governor Mills age.

Local activists tend to dislike when the national party anoints candidates, and that’s the kind of sentiment the non-anointed candidate can use to their advantage. Also the person doing the anointing is Chuck Schumer and he sucks at his job.

Talking about how Chuck Schumer has handpicked a senate candidate and is meddling in Maine politics—as long as it doesn’t veer into whining—is just good politics in this situation.

If I were Platner I would take every opportunity to turn the primary into a referendum on Schumer.

If you do this be careful on Step 11. That cable is somewhat fragile and you can damage it if you forget to unlock the zif connector.

Honestly the glue is less of a worry to me than all the little connectors and screws (the glue is still a pain in the ass but hey, at least it’s not solder).

I’m a big fan of repair when you can, so hopefully a battery replacement will work.

I had the same thing happen to my work laptop this weekend. Fortunately I was already moving stuff over to a new one.

Oh no, I’m afraid that’s the extent of my advice :-(

You’ll need to escalate to level 2.

I just saw that you lost Fergus (great name for a kitty, btw). I am very sorry for your loss. We had to say goodbye to our senior dog last week and it’s just so hard.

I do think one of our cats misses his little dog “friend” (he thought they were friends but the Pomeranian did not).

Nothing says “manly” more than whining about how a woman has damaged his sense of his own masculinity.

Thankfully NYC will not be electing either of them Mayor this time around.

I honestly gasped when I first saw this.

The honorable thing for Stoller to do would be to delete all of his social media accounts and become a hermit, but I don’t think he is an honorable man.

I mean, he likely would have done a better job than Mayor Adams. But that bar is very very low.

It would be interesting for someone to run for US president on the platform of firing every one hired to work for ICE over the past 4 years. Firing all of them on day 1.

Local friends who have Music Hall memberships should let them know how you feel about this cowardly and intensely political decision.

Seth Miller @wandrme.paxex.aero · 4d

Canceling an event for "safety considerations" despite no credible threats *is* a political statement. Doing it six days out is extra shitty.

That the local PD was never contacted and says it knew of no threats makes this one even worse. 🤬🤬

Look, I’m no fan of Nate Silver, but he’s gotten a few things right over the years, which is infinitely more than Mr. Beanyman.

Non-falsifiable is one thing.

Laughable is another.

Remember that if the Democrats take power again, they will go into great detail telling you why they can't do things.

You will tell them that Trump did those things, and they will say he broke the law.

You will then ask why he hasn't been arrested, and they will be very quiet.

Is there something us Bluesky folks can do to assist this student? Because anatomy is an area of settled science. All the little bits and bobs have names and it’s important to know where they are and what they do. A “professor” who did something like this for profit should be fired immediately.

It’s about as non-gendered as “guys” which is to say kinda, sorta, not really, but maybe?

My understanding is that nothing bad happened on Jan. 6th. There were only peaceful protests by freedom-loving Americans. Does Mr. Andy Ngo disagree with that assessment?

Mouse.

Also my doctor said I could eat as much chocolate covered steak as I want with no repercussions.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.
